Dear Metro:
You offer employer subsidies for discount or free passes

Have you investigated offering these same subsidies and discounts to low-income families and unemployed people?
Have you discussed this with social service and philanthropic agencies, local, state and federal?
What about passes to low-income high school students and community college students?
If you haven't, please direct me to the proper agencies.
PUBLIC TRANSIT SHOULD SERVE THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT MOST!
Right?
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SHOULD BE PUBLICLY OWNED. ROUTES SHOULD SERVE THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST, AND NOT THE "PARK AND RIDE" CROWD OR TO REDUCE TRAFFIC CONGESTION. ELECTION DAYS AND FOURTH OF JULY SHOULD BE FREE FARE DAYS. EVERY SINGLE CITIZEN SHOULD HAVE A PERSONAL TAP PASS THAT MAXES OUT AT $78 EACH AND EVERY MONTH. SHELTERS FOR WEATHER, BATHROOMS AND DRINKING FOUNTAINS SHOULD BE REQUIRED. DISCOUNT PASSES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE THAT IS LOW INCOME OR ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE.
